Happy Friday Families,

For the last week we have been working online. We would rather be in school, but we are making it work.

We have been reading and writing about "Front Desk" by Kelly Yang. We have met Mia, a Chinese immigrant who is working with her family at the Calivista Motel in California. She has been teaching us through her words about life as an immigrant and the trials and tribulations she is going through as a 10 year old.

In math we are learning about measurement. We have learned about lines, line segments and rays. We have learned how to draw and measure angles and the different names of triangles. We have learned about isosceles, scalene and equilateral triangles.

In science we are studying chemistry. We have learned about mixtures and chemical reactions. We did science experiments with Skittles, jellybeans, a few liquids, baking soda, vinegar and food colouring. We had fun watching chemical reactions happen. Check out what we did on Google Classroom.

In social studies we are studying the Famous Five. They are a group of women who were trying to change the laws in Canada regarding women's rights.

In art we are doing free draw, drawing optical illusions and following along with Art Hub for Kids on youtube.

Stay tuned for another update next week.
